| I wondered why i wasn't losing weight even though i was doing all the right things so i saw a dietitian who told me to cut down on the water. I was drinking about 2.5 to 3 ltrs a day. I now have 1.5 ltrs sometimes 2 and the weight is dropping off me. After doing lots of research into the problems of drinking too much water i found that inhibiting weight loss while dieting was a common factor. |

| Hello all, I started OptiFast on Monday. I am sticking to it as much as I can but I get sooo hungry. I have a shake for breakfast and another shake or an optifast bar for lunch. For dinner i have been having the shake... but i also have steamed veges with grilled meat or fish. I hope having the meat or fish doesn't interfere too much. I just get so hungry. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Hello everyone, does anybody know whether you can split shakes into 2, eg make 3 shakes into 6 shakes and have them at intervals throughout day ? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

HELP. im really bad to, i have been snacking a little here and there (nothing xtreme), and skipping shakes.. back on the wagon today! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| douglas, It usually takes between 3 and 5 days for ketosis to kick in. Make sure you are also drinking a minimum of 2 litres of water a day as that helps speed up the process as well. Best of luck with it. If you feel you have to have something stick with low carb veggies or protein. Pyretta |

| And if anybody can answer this question how long does it take till your body gets use to just the 3 shakes a day and 1 cup of steamed veges,day 2 for me and i'm finding this really hard!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I'm gonna have to try the fatblaster shakes lol I just tried the celebrity slim chocolate shake and it's gross... it has an optifast vanilla aftertaste lol |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| the fatblaster shakes im on have like 30 carbs ( with milk ) its a lot. im still losing weight tho. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I just had a banana celebrity slim shake for lunch and OMG I am soo in love... Although reading the label, each meal has 14.9g (or there abouts) of carbs... so, no ketosis for me... but still going to the gym :D | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| hiya Bel, I have the same troubles... optifast is just too strict for me and my tastebuds, the flavours are grating on me :( I'm thinking of buying the celebrity slim 'plateau breaker' and see if it helps at all... it'd be nice to have some new flavours, I'm pretty skeptical about it though... and it's damn expensive! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| hi belinda, sorry to hear you put back on weight.i started another thred ( meal replacement shakers) i also found the opti just too strict and was falling. i am now on fatblaster and the weight is falling off and im not falling off the wagon anymore. i am having a shake for breakky, a banana mid morn, shake for lunch, diet yogurt mid arvo and a diet soup with vegies in it or a low fat, low carb dinner. i also have 2 corn thins after dinner. i am so happy its all worked out for me now and im not hungery. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi..Good 2 see your all doing good & congrats on your weightloss too. Welldone. You have all probably already guessed but i have fallen hard..ive been on and off..but mainly just eating junk..I have gained 1.3kg & I am feeling really down about it all. I'm all to blame...i know. Last night i was thinking..should i stay on it ? should i try something different..then i thought i should just stick with the optifast and maybe do the transition..2 shakes and a meal ? might be easier.. what do you guys think ? What are you all doing per day ? |
